hello everyone

This time, I will explain "finishing techniques using layer blending modes".

 

First, I will draw the original illustration.

The base illustration has been completed.

From here, I will use the composite layer to finish the illustration.

The first pattern is completed.

 

Regarding the use of layers

Multiply layer if you want to darken the painted area

Overlay if you want it brighter

If you want to express it as if it is emitting light, add (emission) or screen

Hard light when you want to bring out the color clearly around the light

using.

layer configuration.

Layer structure on the right

The top right is the overall view

The lower left is what is drawn on the layer.

 

Addition (light emission)

It is colored black for easy understanding, but it is actually white.

For ease of explanation this time

Although there is no problem with merging layers, they are not merged

it becomes difficult to manage

Because the operation may become heavy

There is no problem to integrate appropriately.

 

Also, which blending mode to use for the layer

If it's hard to decide, try them all

I think it's best to choose the one that's closest to your ideal.

 

Let's create the next two patterns.

Now that it's completed, let's take a look at the layer structure.

How did you like this explanation?

I would appreciate it if you could help me with a little bit.

 

Thank you for reading this far.
